Personal Philosophy on Counseling and Wellness

My passion throughout my career has been psychology and counseling. I have a strong intuitive ability that facilitates good communication with clients. I believe in the mind body connection, that our physical, mental, and spiritual health are intertwined. Experienced in crisis intervention, assessment, and prevention, I am skilled in working with a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, addiction, depression and bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and grief and loss. Serving as the clinical director with Piper Place Day Rehab Program (a day program for individuals with severe mental illness) since 2011, I have also gained extensive insight into the community health resources and providers in this area.

In working with clients, I believe it is crucial that the client set the tone and pace of therapy. I am serving as one of many resources to clients in my practice and I believe ultimately with support, we can all access inner and external resources related to improving mental health and overall life satisfaction. It is my belief that each of us has incredible strengths and resources within us. We often are not aware of these, and counseling can help in accessing and utilizing these qualities and strengths.
